KBibTeX is a BibTeX editor for KDE to edit bibliographies used with LaTeX. Features include comfortable input masks, starting web queries (e. g. Google Scholar or BibSonomy) and exporting to PDF, PostScript, RTF and XML/HTML. As KBibTeX is using KDE's KParts technology, KBibTeX can be embedded into Kile or Konqueror.

I am using the version in trunk at revision 964. The IEEEXplore engine used to work (from time to time I build kbibtex from trunk), but since some time ago it doesn't work. Unfortunately, I can't tell exactly when it stopped to work.
Could you please check? Thanks a lot!

usually I tend to copy the bib reference by selecting it via mouse and paste it. Now If i coud paste the bib_ref_source directly into kbibtex->element->new->source 'field tab' and it automatically updates the rest of the feilds in the other tabs in the window so from the source it woul fill in the title, author and all the details.
another function: an import from endnote format to bib i am sure is possible, but i have not seen this feature. some of the sites provide only endnote/procite refs its a pain to get them converted to bib.
thanks for such a great program :)

If you have problems loading a bibtex file, please attach it to your email so that I can check it myself. Thanks!

Kbibtex is what I am looking for, however if I import my *.bib file only 1/3 of the entries are listed -- in my case all entries with IDs up to "H*".
I added a link for each entry between bibtex entry and the corresponding pdf in the bibtex file. I would be very handy to have a "download pdf from local db" function in Kbibtex. Then I can search entries and open/mail the corresponding pdf.
thanks for this useful tool, cheers Oggi

The feature you request might be already in the new version. For both the field "url" in "misc" and for valid urls in "user fields" you can click on "open" to open the file in konqueror.
